    What of the case whereby you are told that you are receiving the loan on a 9% interest rate at a center. That is if you’re going for #500,000 loan,you will be paying #45000 as monthly interest. Then #45000 in 12 months is #540,000 and in 3 years when the loan elapses, you are paying #1,620,000 as interest for a #500,000 loan. This is too much na!!!. Some years back, financial aid given to Farmers by fg usually where at very low or no internet rate. The interest payable for #500,000 in 12 months is more than the principal amount. How will people be able to pay that. Fg should look into this ooooo

    1. Comfort Emiola

      I submitted my own form on 16/05/2020 and they acknowledged receiving my form and.promised to get back to me in short time,, but yet to hear from them again, I don’t know what step to take now again

    2. Emmanuel Bassey Udoh

      I think you are not getting the whole thing here, the interest rate is per Annual not monthly, the interest rate is 5percent for a year, that’s if you pay back the loan in one year, but it exist one year their interest rate will increase to 9percent per annual. So check out your calculation.

  5. Commy

    What is fg saying about the interest rate which exceed the principal amount payable in 12 months. I.e #500,000*9%=#45000.#45000*12 months=#540,000*3years=#1,620,000. I use to think that aid given to Farmers where usually at very low or no interest rate.

      I think the rate is 9% par annum not monthly,so check your calculation

  6. Chris Omekwe

    A regular Nigerian news browser or searcher, I’m disappointed that the information of the availability of this loan was not adequately disseminated. Is it too late now :this piece didn’t even say if applications are still invited and how and where to apply to

  7. Realist

    They already know where and who will receive what. The process is loaded heavily with political undertones. The arrangements is just a decor to fool the rest of us. If my observation is incorrect, let CBN published all beneficiary after the disbursements.

  8. Adebanke

    I applied for the loan, but my account number was not requested.my form was acknowledged to have been received and promised to get back shortly since 2/6/2020. Please, what is the next line of action. Thanks

  9. ADAMU GLORY

    They requested for my account details but i logged out to imput the information, they rejected me and said my Ive already submitted.

    My candid advice to every person in leadership is to transparent in whatever scheme that is rolled out in order foster trust in the mind of the followers, knowing that every thing you’re gathering here on earth is vanity. I can’t envy you greed and myopic leader who is acquiring everything, both the one that is meant for the poor.
